    europe are a bunch of bloodthirsty imperialists who fucked over africa and the middle who now try and act so innocent and suck up to americas enemies.

    Well we won't forget the sykes-picot agreement you greedy fucks.

    You think they won't come for you?

    Europe has more arabs than america has mexicans so don't get so fucking cocky, biatches.

    Being anti-semitic is a good way to try and suck up to the terrorists but that won't save you, no one is going to forget how the europeans ruined the middle east and ravaged africa mmmkay.

    You'll get yours just wait and see, all the anti-semitism in the world won't save ya either.

    My company is currently migrating from NT to XP and it has been a major task for the 3000+ users. We've spent far more on developing new systems, new hardware and training.

    250,000 doesn't seem much to me for a task this size.

    Well if you ask Putin, Denmark is sponsoring terrorists by not extraditing Akhmed Zakayev a supposed Chechen terrorist. Of course you would have to agree with the war in Chechnya in the first place. I couldn't find any dirt on Sweden but I still would choose Switzerland. As for "ignorant faults," I don't any statement I made wasn't based on absolute facts except maybe for the UK statement which is just too damn obvious to be ignorant.
